In My Tasks, the moment my cursor moves onto the list of tasks, everything I hover over is highlighted. I cannot click off of anything. Scrolling means more things get highlighted. If I try to move the things that get highlighted more items get highlighted. This happened yesterday at around the same time; yesterday it also happened to one of my co-workers. I am currently using Chrome and updated Chrome to see if this would make it stop. It did not. I also tried logging in and out. ---

This is continuing but I have some more information. This happens **if I click on a header in My Tasks.** This doesn’t happen until I click on a header. I can click on tasks as normal but I **cannot** click on headers without mass-highlighting occurring. ---

> [@Ellen\_Duffer](#): > > I have some more information. This happens **if I click on a header in My Tasks.** Good point. I can reproduce it as well given that information. Note: what is meant here by “header” is a **section**. However, @Ellen_Duffer, this is only occurring in the current (i.e. older) version of My Tasks. I tested in the new My Tasks that’s in the process of being rolled out and it doesn’t happen there. Given that everyone will have the updated My Tasks within about a month or so. I highly doubt Asana will be fixing this issue. ---

Briefly describe (1-2 sentences) the Bug you’re experiencing: When I am on the “My Tasks” page, sometimes there is a glitch where the page thinks I am selecting multiple tasks when my cursor is simply hovering over and not clicking. I know that it’s not my mousepad since it happens when I am using my desktop monitor + mouse as well and also on my other computer. Steps to reproduce: It only happens once in a while when I am on my my tasks page. Mouse is hovering over, or moving up/scrolling, and the page acts as if I am selecting multiple tasks.

Hi @anon88501099, welcome to the Asana Community Forum! 👋🏻 There are many different ways to [multi-select](https://asana.com/guide/help/faq/multiselect) tasks in Asana. Are you carrying out any of the mentioned ways when this is happening? I can see how the Click + Drag method might cause this unknowingly! Looking forward to hearing back from you 🙂 ---

Hi Rebecca, Nope, not doing any clicking or click & dragging! It happens when i’m simply on the page and my cursor is hovering, then when I scroll or move my cursor the issue happens. I was able to replicate the issue a bunch of times. I made a screen recording but i’m not able to share the file as it’s too big for your server. ---

Thanks for getting back to me @anon88501099! - Can you confirm what browser and version you are working on? - Does the issue occur in incognito browser? ---

@Rebecca_McGrath, I’m thinking maybe what @anon88501099 is reporting is the same as this one: > [@Everything gets highlighted in My Tasks when clicking Section](https://forum.asana.com/t/everything-gets-highlighted-in-my-tasks/116360): > > In My Tasks, the moment my cursor moves onto the list of tasks, everything I hover over is highlighted. I cannot click off of anything. Scrolling means more things get highlighted. If I try to move the things that get highlighted more items get highlighted.

I’m using Chrome Version 89.0.4389.114 (Official Build) (x86\_64). I could replicate the issue in an incognito browser as well, though i’m noticing the highlighting seems to stem out from a section title each time. It seems to be the same glitch that @Phil_Seeman referenced ---
